The West Texas A&M Buffaloes baseball team suffered three straight losses against the University of Texas-Dallas, allowing a total of 27 runs over the three-game series. The Buffs are now 1-5 on the season after starting with a win against St. Edward's University. Their pitching staff has struggled, allowing 61 total runs so far this year.
Why it matters
The Buffs' poor defensive performance and extended losing streak raise concerns about the team's ability to compete in the Lone Star Conference this season. The high number of runs allowed by the pitching staff is a particular area of focus that the team will need to address.
The details
In the three-game series, West Texas A&M lost 7-6 on Friday, 11-4 on Saturday, and 9-3 on Sunday. On Sunday, the Buffs fell behind 3-0 early but were able to cut the deficit to 3-1 in the fifth inning. However, UT-Dallas then scored 6 runs in the bottom of the eighth to pull away. The Buffs managed just 3 runs on 6 hits in the game.
- The Buffs started the season 1-0 after winning their opener against St. Edward's University on January 30.
- Since that opening win, the Buffs have lost 5 straight games.
- The 3-game series against UT-Dallas took place from February 6-8, 2026.
